<p>Parents are their child&#39;s most important teacher and what you say and what you&nbsp;do will help mold your child&#39;s future.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Often it is&nbsp;through observing others that children learn about basic rules of etiquette.&nbsp;Consequentially, it is important that adults&nbsp;model&nbsp;the behavior that they would like for their child to have. In addition, you can&nbsp;help expand&nbsp;your child&#39;s knowledge and understanding&nbsp;by read books together and then talking.&nbsp;</p>
<p>When children learn&nbsp;the importance of how to act and how to treat others&nbsp;they are provided a gift that will serve them throughout their entire life.</p>

<p>&nbsp;In this funny story, told in lilting read-aloud rhyme, the girl has numerous opportunities to be helpful to the clumsy shopping dino and demonstrate when to say &quot;thank you,&quot; &quot;excuse me,&quot; &quot;I&#39;m sorry,&quot; &quot;You&#39;re welcome,&quot; and other niceties of life. Tim Bowers&#39;s whimsical illustrations bring an extra dimension of fun to Judy Sierra&#39;s hilarious picture book fantasy. Altogether, Suppose You Meet a Dinosaur is an entertaining and painless way to show preschoolers why basic manners are a good thing to have.</p>

<p><strong>Achoo! </strong>is a delightfully funny combination of verse and color pictures that will keep kids laughing, even as they learn that good manners and good health practices are closely interrelated. Along with covering one&#39;s mouth, children learn the importance of washing their hands, wiping their nose with a tissue instead of their hands, brushing their teeth, and many more basic rules of hygiene and good manners.</p>

<p>A hilarious picture book about manners, turned upside down! Why do animals get to misbehave, while humans have to act so prim and proper all the time? From the New York Times bestselling author comes a book about manners, all from the point-of-view of a little girl. In her refreshingly subversive world, monkeys must always use their fingers when they eat or get in trouble, elephants are encouraged to squirt and splatter everywhere, and pig parents ask their children to get muddy before they go to bed. Of course, if you&#39;re a pig, you smell, and that&#39;s not nice. Still, the girl can see that behaving like an animal could be fun. . .</p>
